AZ has never claimed to have a lot of money, only the media have, and that's because his father is a billionaire, not Anton!

Anton promised to operate with bigger budgets, and we are compared to that of SJM. He also promised we wouldn't have to sell out best players, unless of course they forced a move (i.e. Kebe, Pog..)

He has actually kept his word, but the fans buy into the bullshit the press come out with and their expectations increase, and unfairly. You can also argue Adkins has shot himself in the foot with his very vocal ambitions for us, but that's his job, that's how he works, he instills confidence in his squad and to do that you have to talk them up, and the club also.

AZ has done nothing wrong. Football fans always want more, so he's very rarely going to be on a winner.

So no news today in regards to transfers as we get closer to the end of the window. Seriously hope the club have 1-2 lined up, especially a forward capable of playing as a lone striker.

Surely it wont be any worse than when we lost Gylfi and got Lee Hendrie on trial without signing anybody :lol: :|

We'll be waiting for the usual cut price offers available 2 hours before the window finally closes next week.

I've got a horrible feeling that nobody is lined up.... Moreover, aside from Kebe, I can't see us shipping any of the dead wood out either.

Are you going to do this every day? :|

Why don't you just switch off your computer and go out and do something less boring instead?

Looks like Kebe may have misunderstood what we all meant when we said that we really needed a striker!

Roberts has taken Kebe aside. He told him:- 'Just stay injured for another few years and then go into the Media', it has worked for me and I'm raking the money in!

Only 5 days of the transfer window left and "Rumours and Gossip" seems very subdued.

If we lose Kebe and make no signings, I am not sure how fans will react.

I will be annoyed for a couple of days and then get over it.

I am still hoping that we will bring in 2-3 new players.

I think WANTS is the key word in there.

Least we can take the blame off Adkins if we dont get the players in. He has made it clear he wants players, up to Hammond and Anton to deliver now. If we lose Kebe and dont have 2-3 coming in with sufficient quality we are going to struggle!

Well he said he wanted Hooper but the club didn't seem to bother wanting to get involved there even though it was an unlikely target from the off

Royal Dee what about Bakary Sako? has a decent scoring record from midfield and he can play upfront and with kebe going he might be a suitable replacement?


dont need to replace kebe though do we? mcanuff hrk drenthe mcleary obita is surley enough?


i would very much hope we would, since he is better than all of those except maybe drenthe, it would leave us seriously worse off

Adkins is clearly agitating for signings more than McDermott did. And we have already signed an ex-England International, a US international from the Bundasliga and an ex-Real Madrid player. A little above McDermott's ambitions. Not that it was solely McDermott's fault. Hammond and Anton have to share a slice of the blame pie too.

quote from Get Reading .."Adkins has seen targets move elsewhere and admits deals he thought were concluded, have fallen through at the last minute."


how many times have we seen that happen .???.maybe Squeaky should be asked what's going on with the transfer activity as he is the common demonator....
